Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:49:55 +0000http://www.cruisemates.com/blog/?p=1083#comment-1844My family, husband, 19 & 16 year old boys, and I are contemplating a first-time cruise. We think we want to go to the Caribbean and we don’t want to be on a 5,000 passenger ship but we want to make sure there are enough activities and other teenagers to keep our kids busy and happy. The decision of what line is overwhelming….any advice?

Itinerary plays the lead role in my choice, followed by the right ship/line for the particular group cruising. I’m a firm believer that if a first time cruiser returns and says, “I didn’t like cruising”, then they were not matched with the ship/line for their personality.

The last half of your blog entry is why I cruise. It is those memories of the itineraries, destinations and wonders that I have seen are what I love about cruising. The ship is really secondary.

I can’t really handle extended land trips anymore so cruising is the perfect way to see the marvels that this planet has to offer. The ship is secondary.

I do have to admit that once in awhile you do just need some “mind candy cruising” and that’s when a Caribbean cruise fits perfectly. That’s what I love about cruising, there’s something for whatever your brain, and body, are hungry for.

Take care,
Mike

I travel monthly with my business and oftentimes, it is International travel so a cruise for me is all about relaxing by the pool and doing nothing. I partake of whatever the ship has to offer.

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:43:22 +0000http://www.cruisemates.com/blog/?p=1083#comment-1370I’d say 90% of the time we book for the destination. Where do we want to go and then let’s find the best ship to fit our needs. Out of 14 cruises, we’ve never booked because of the ship. The other 10%, we just want to get away, that’s when last minute Alaska or Mexican Riviera deals come in handy being from Vancouver.

Is it an emotional bond on a deep and personal level. Or is it an intellectual decision based on researching different options and narrowing down your choices?

The answer is yes!

Sometimes we book a cruise carefully, checking out itinerary, dates, prices, lines, ect. and other times we book on a whim just because a cruise ship looks exciting.

There is no such thing as a perfect cruise except to the one booking it!
